So sorry for your loss. My condolences to all of the Aberdeen firemen and to his family

RIP , thank you for all you’re years of dedicated service. You’ll be missed

Awwww I was just asking about him two weeks ago. I grew up down the street from him on Gaston Street and handled many permits for him in the building department. Such a great man. A true gentleman. Rest In Peace 😔

A Great Man A Gentleman RIP peace My Friend He only trusted a few

Thank you for your service! RIP

Rest In Peace and thank you for your service to the community and our country.

Awful news. A great man. Helped me out with being a fire fighter and with plumbing needs. He bought the lottery tickets we all chipped in for. Always busted him that he was keeping the winners. A real loss.

RIP. Brother🇺🇸
